Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
The pop-punk band reinvents its sound and prematurely weighs the stakes of fast success.
-
Stereogum
What happens when a pop-punk boy band grows up? They stop playing pop-punk, apparently.
-
Amnplify (AU)
5 Seconds Of Summer have reached new heights with their latest venture Youngblood. Breaking away from their punk rock chains and turning to synth pop has gone in their favour, with every track paving a story of love and heartbreak.
-
Medium
Youngblood is cohesive and strong.
-
The Odyssey
5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) just put out an exploration of modern rock, 80's classics and alt- pop-rock after a 3-year hiatus that blew my mind.
-
The Edge (UK)
A new and exciting sonic that beautifully captures the melancholy emotions and personal journey the band have taken over the past few years.
-
Musical Hype
The album is a bit too heavy on love and relationships, but as emphasized earlier, it’s quite relatable.
-
Cryptic Rock
On Youngblood, the quartet mix it up and blend together a zillion facets of Pop, from Rock to Vocal R&B, Hip Hop beats to 1980s synths.
-
All Music
Australia's 5 Seconds of Summer instead embrace a slick dance-pop sound on their third album, 2018's Youngblood.
-
Don't Bore Us
The album is said to be as a result of starting over. 5 Seconds of Summer “achieved the dreams they didn’t even realise they had”, and the emotional awakening is apparent through the new direction and sound.
-
Dead Press (UK)
- the quartet strip away from any form of rock and instead, deliver a surprisingly great pop record.
-
Idobi Radio
About a minute into their third album it’s obvious that 5 Seconds of Summer has grown up—and Youngblood is something to be celebrated.
-
Immortal Reviews
5 Seconds Of Summer jumps on trends in Youngblood, taking on a much more poppier sound than their previous efforts. It's not a bad execution, but it feels disingenuous as a come back.
-
Herald Sun (AU)
This third album dials down the punk for experimenting in the wide world of pop.
-
The Aquarian
Youngblood, their third major label album, is years ahead of its time. For a band still so young and impressionable, doing an almost complete 180 from the music that got them their start just a mere four years ago is a dangerous feat.
